This client wanted a piece to represent the bond between him and his daughter. Something to embody his daughter#39;s security and her admiration towards her father. Biagio sketched out an idea that incorporated them holding hands, to show that the father is alwayss there for his daughter, and a silhouette of the two holding hands with the daughter looking up in admiration. Upon approval of the sketch, Biagio took photos of the father and daughter for reference. Utilizing those photos, Biagio created the tattoo for the happy customer.

Creeping Dragon

BIAGIO

Published on: 06/04/2013

My client gave me the challenge to tie his arm tattoo with his kanji on his opposite shoulder with a dragon crawling. Thought I would maximize the space in order to not comprimise the look of the dragon. The difficulty was in getting a 3-dimensional dragon to not look awkward transitioning from the back to the arm. I decided to keep the heaviness of the piece on the back of the body, back of arm, to help the transition. All aspects are completely from my head with no reference. Getting to do work like this makes what I do an absolute pleasure.
